'Robin?"
Silence.
"Robin."
"Star."
"I…
thought I would never see you again…"
"Me too. It's been

"Busy? Yes… Slade's tutelage must be
hectic… and painful."
Silence.
"Or mayhaps, you felt remorse for friend Cyborg?"
Silence.
"Why are you here,
Robin?"
"To steal another chip."
"No angry quest to
eliminate the rest of the Titans? No diabolical scheme to conquer the
city for Slade?"
Silence.
"No?"
"You've
changed."
"It's been a busy few
years."
"More cynical, more bitter?"
"Yes…"
Ftttzzzz
The green glow of a Starbolt.
"Shall I show you the extent of
my change?"
Kkaaaabbboooooommm
Whoosh!
Whap!
"Aaahhhhh!"
Silence.
"Get out of the way, Star."
"No."
"I will hurt you."
"You overestimate you
abilities."
Kkaaaabbbboooooommm
POW!
"It wasn't
supposed to work out like this, Star."
"No. I suppose it
wasn't."
POW!
